Abstract (en)

A dough extruder (10) is disclosed that is configured to provide a continuous dough rope suitable for cracker products using a straight extended low friction compression chamber (24) and a die plate (30) oriented substantially perpendicular to a laminar flow of the dough. In one embodiment, the extruder can have a compressive force sufficient to extrude a plastic mass in a laminar flow in the range of about less than 120 psi; a compression chamber (24) providing for an interior coefficient of friction in the range of about 0.2 and 0.35; and a die plate (30) horizontally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the compressive force.
